lyrics

I’m up alone cause everything shuts down so goddamn early in this town
the sun comes up my cig goes out and one more drink my whiskey is all gone
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Baby said she fell off the horse again
and threw her lover under the bus
now my old band is turning to soldiers
my neighbors keep on turning to dust
some fill in the holes in their shotguns
some of them have nothing to show
but nothing could have prepared me
for the beautiful ache in my soul

close the door put out the light
you know I won’t be coming home tonight
the buzz has crawled into my eyes
the lines and lights just keep on rushing by
Baby said she fell off the horse again
and threw her lover under the bus
now my old band is turning to soldiers
my neighbors keep on turning to dust
some fill in the holes in their shotguns
some of them have nothing to show
but nothing could have prepared me
for the beautiful ache in my soul
